The massive growth in consumers using mobile devices to conduct financial transactions has put the spotlight on how easily financial apps can be abused via reverse-engineering, malware and other malicious attacks. Combined with new financial technology innovations in mobile banking, mobile P2P transactions, balance transfers and payments, etc. apps have become an increasingly attractive target for hackers and therefore require self-defense and tamper-resistant attributes before they are deployed.

According to a recent Gartner survey, 60 percent of consumers shared concerns that the security of personal and payment data was one of the most significant barriers to using their phones to make mobile payments.

"The financial services industry is seeing rapid and innovative development of mobile apps, across all platforms," said Kevin Morgan, Arxan CTO and VP Engineering. "Unfortunately, attacks aimed at mobile fraud, malware distribution, device corruption and IP theft threatens to erode trust in these apps. Both companies and consumers must be confident that new technology launched in the financial services ecosystem does not compromise security."
